I was so excited to try this restaurant having seen the awesome write-up in Gourmet magazine. I have to honestly say though, I was disappointed with the food; specifically my entree, which was a hawaiian fish (escarole) over a rice cake. My dates entree however was outstanding: it was an extremely tender pork. I kept leaning over to eat his! My fish entree was undercooked in the middle and dry on the outside and generally flavorless. The rice cake did not help although the sauce was very good. The appetizers, although very small, were very good; especially the smoked duck slice and the bacon bite. Our server suggested a french red table wine, which is perfectly acceptable given the fact that my date had meat and I had fish -- but a viognier would have been so much better. I wanted to order a viognier but allowed the server to talk us into a french red! (note to self: next time go with your inner instincts!) Do not get me wrong -- french red table wines can be awesome but can also be completely wrong depending on the food and in this case, it just did not work. For dessert I ordered chocolate -- normally anything with choclate is what I love: I was incredibly disappointed. It was a white pudding (I do not know what else to call it b/c it was so nasty) with what was supposed to be chocolate ganache on top with chocolate curls. It honestly tasted like something you would get at a school cafeteria. It was gelatanous and gross. I am a chocolate lover and this had to be the worst dessert I have ever had. Just plain awful! (my dates was ok -- it was a napolean) Anyway, for the expensive price; I would absolutely suggest you try a different restaurant. I dined at Corbetts a few weeks back and it blew 610 out of the water....sorry to say but that is how I feel. Overall, high marks for service, quaint ambience, good appetizers, decent wine list. Low marks for my entree and dessert (the main part of the meal), food just did not impress :(

I have to say i have been in the industry for close to twenty years. The way they compensate their servers is ridiculous! ! If money does not go to the server then how do you expect people to excel. The owner adds on 18% , and then takes it. The servers receive a flat rate. This takes away all incentive to provide excellent service. The wine list was nice, although there was not a wine steward. There are definitely better restaurants in Louisville for the ticket. Lately I have been trying to learn and recall my server's name. The best servers that I have run across in Louisville have been Brent Wehr@ The Turf Club, Churchill Downs. Jay Blevins was also spectacular. He works all over the city!! Find these guys there is no better experience!! Happy eating.

Michael, Lindsay, and the rest of the wait staff were incredibly accommodating and personable. We had a number of last minute changes and unique circumstances ,and service still went off without a hitch. This ,of course, speaks to the incredible skill of the kitchen as well. Every dish was inspired,delicious, and perfectly paced. I couldnt be happier with our experience at 610 Magnolia.

Amazing Food, Amazing Service. I cannot say enough good things about this restaurant and Ed Lee. Took my wife for our anniversary, the cocktails were fantastic and they surprised us with some excellent champagne. We do not eat meat and they accommodated us very well (we do eat fish), and the food was just over the top amazing. Easily the best dining experience that we have ever had.

610 Magnolia is the best meal that Ive ever had in my life. I am not exaggerating. I went here to celebrate a very special occasion, and the server was absolutely accommodating. Their menu changes fairly seasonally (as they base what they get on local-ish ingredients), meaning that each time you go will probably be a unique experience. Do yourself a favor: GO!

BEST.MEAL.EVER. If you havent been yet, you need to go. This place would easily be a 2 or 3 star Michelin restaurant if it were in a larger city and the cost would be 2-3 times as much easy. One of the absolute best meals of my life. Highly recommend.

In previous years this restaurant used to be fantastic, but since then, the prices have increased, the quality has decreased, and a passive-aggressive "15% restaurant service fee" is tacked on to the bill that was described by the waiters as not a tip

I love Jack Fryes and am a repeat customer. My favorite is the warm Brie salad. You cant go wrong. The atmosphere is very like something from years ago. Great food and attentive service. Parking can be an issue with only limited spaces in the lot.

High end, imaginative food experience thats worthy of any special occasion meal. Its pricey, but the food, pacing, drinks, and service are all outstanding. I entered with high expectations and it lived up to them.

We have eaten here once a year for the past three years, when we are in Louisville on business. The food and service are incredibly good. The food is not only delicious but also inventive and unexpected.

You should be there as soon as possible. Had the 6 course dinner, it was $100 but was worth it. Great for very special occasions or you feel like ballin out of control in a dinner. Completely worth it

We have been to the restarurant two times while staying at the Garden Ryokan Yachio. Our vegetarian meals were excellent and the garden side views were soothing. I wish I could go there again.

What an experience! The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Its a fixed menu, but you do get to choose between two options for each course. I would eat here again and again.

Interesting...so much hype for nothing. Horrible compared Safron or Eddie Merlots. Does not come close ton ranking with other restaurants in Louisville. Disapponted.
